COVID-19 Protocol

Below is the current protocol for students who are feeling ill AND for those who may be undergoing symptoms related to COVID-19.  Please make sure to fill out the QH Reporting Form (links here and below) to report all COVID-related issues so we can help provide assistance to all of our stakeholders. Thank you for your help in keeping our students and families safe!

Feeling ill:

If any student is feeling ill, we ask that the student remains home and parents/guardians email the QHHS Attendance Office (qhhs-attendance@avhsd.org) or by calling (661) 718-3100 ext 870 for Last Names A-K, and ext. 871 for last names L-Z to clear the absence.

If a student is feeling any of the following symptoms that are consistent with possible COVID-19 (fever of 100.4 degrees or more, a new cough (different from baseline), vomiting, or any new onset diarrhea) OR any other symptoms of illness that could possibly be COVID related:

• TEST FOR COVID - Once you receive the test results, please fill out THIS FORM whether positive or negative, so we are aware and can further assist.
• Contact our Attendance Office to clear the student's absence via email QHHS Attendance Office (qhhs-attendance@avhsd.org) or by calling (661) 718-3100 ext 870 for Last Names A-K, and ext. 871 for last names L-Z.

**If the student tests negative, please have them remain home until their condition improves, being fever-free without fever-reducing medication for 24 hrs.  If the student receives a Dr. note stating they can return, please follow the suggestions by the student's physician.  Also, please contact the attendance office (as noted above) to ensure the student's absences are cleared.
